Polyethylene glycol reduces the net flux of branched-chain amino acids across the mammary gland in ewes fed sulla

Abstract: Six lactating ewes were orally drenched each day with polyethylene glycol to remove the effects of the condensed tannins in sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) and six other ewes (control) received a drench of water. The treatments were started 28 days prior to the measurement period. At week 6 of lactation, net absorption of branched-chain amino acids in the mesenteric vein was not affected by PEG.
